Greg Gutfeld is a very versatile individual who started his career as a journalist and has diversified into the fields of television production, editing, comedy, and most recently, writing. He has written 8 books to date, with 4 of them becoming bestsellers according to the New York Times.
Greg has courted a few controversies in his strides; notable among them is the satirical comment he made about Canada, where he seemed to mock the nation about not having an Army, and thus, suggesting that it would be the best time to invade the nation. He later apologized for his comments, clarifying that he never intended to mock Canada and her people.
How Did Greg Gutfeld Become Famous?
Greg graduated from the University of California, Berkley in the United States with a Bachelor of Arts degree in 1987, and didn’t waste any time pursuing the career that excited him most in the whole world – journalism. The very first media organization that he worked with was The American Spectator, where he worked as an assistant to Emmett Tyrrell, who was a conservative writer.
After learning the rudiments of the profession from Tyrrell, he took up positions in both Emmaus and Prevention magazines as a staff writer. He then moved on to Rodale Press magazines, where he worked as an Editor across a few of their magazines. By 1995, Greg’s career continued on an upward trajectory as he was employed as a Staff Writer with Men’s Health magazine.
He continued to put in good work at the publication over the years, and in 1999, he was made the Editor-in-Chief of the magazine. After he was replaced as Editor-in-Chief of Men’s Health in 2000, he moved over to Stuff – where he was made the Editor-in-Chief of the publication, and through his ingenuity and innovation, he was able to increase the readership of the outfit by almost 500,000 in a single year.
In 2003, an awkward publicity stunt that he pulled, which appeared to be initially successful, backfired spectacularly, and he lost his job as a consequence. He worked at Maxim Magazine in the United Kingdom between 2004 and 2006, and when his contract expired, it was not renewed by the management.
In 2005, Greg joined The Huffington Post as one of the publication’s pioneer contributors. Two years later, in February 2007, he joined Fox News Channel, where he hosted the late-night show called Red Eye With Greg Gutfeld for 6 years. He became a panelist/co-host on The Five – a political opinions and News program on Fox in July 2011. Greg finally got his show on the channel known as The Greg Gutfeld Show. The late-night comedy show premiered on Fox News in 2015 and has been running to date.
What is His Net Worth?
The subject of Greg Gutfeld’s net worth is somewhat dicey as several figures are being quoted as his net worth. One thing is clear though, Greg is one of the most successful Fox News anchors and producers out there.
Many sources put Greg’s net worth between $2 million and $7 million. Apart from the shows that he hosts on Fox News, he also has a blog called The Daily Gut, where he shares his views on a very regular basis.
Is Greg Gutfeld Single or Married?
Greg Gutfeld has no doubt become very successful in his career and has made a name for himself as one of the top producers and journalists at Fox News Channel. That being said, he is also successful in his love life and has been married to a lady named Elena Moussa.
Elena, who is of Russian descent, is a former model and fashion designer, as well as a graduate of Parson School of Design, New York. She and Gutfeld met each other for the first time in the early 2000s in London. At the time, they were working for the UK-based men’s magazine, Maxim. While Gutfeld worked as an editor, Elena worked as a model for the magazine company.
Not long after their meeting, the duo started dating and eventually decided to spend the rest of their lives together. They walked down the aisle in 2004 and have been together for over a decade and counting. Although the couple has been together for a very long time, they have not been known to have children yet; whether they chose not to have kids of their own or they are unable to, it all remains a closely guarded secret between them.
